ScyllaDB is adding native vector similarity search to Alternator, its DynamoDB-compatible API, eliminating the need for Amazon’s complex “Zero ETL” setup with OpenSearch. Instead of managing separate services and APIs, developers can run semantic search directly through DynamoDB Query operations. Benchmarks show 12K+ QPS with single-digit millisecond latency on a modest cluster.
